Spoon Skills

Isabelle is becoming more independent. She has been taking her loaded eating utensil from us and feeding herself for some time now. This night she chose to do the loading too and I was brave enough to let her do it with such a messy item, yogurt. The mess has stayed confined to her tray and self so far.


I love how Isabelle uses both hands to work the spoon in this video. She feeds herself well with either hand once there is food on the utensil. Still don't know if she will be right handed, left handed, or ambidextrous. Her spoon skills have improved enough that she is eating cereal from a bowl with a tiny amount of milk. Often she resorts back to the hands especially when frustrated that things are not going the way she wants with her utensil or if she is too hungry to patiently use the utensil. That makes for even messier yogurt eating. Guess its about time to break out the finger painting projects!
